Chapter 648: Spicy Edamame
Seeing their persistence, Mother Lu nodded and said, “Okay. But if you need any help, you must let me know. Your second sister-in-law can’t do heavy work now, so Mother will help you.”

Lu Jueyu took her mother’s hand and said, “Mother, I will let you know if I need help.”

After Mother Lu left the kitchen, Lu Jueyu opened the cabinet and said, “Meijia, eldest sister-in-law, can you help me bring some snacks and drinks to the guests?”

Pan Meijia saw red water in the barrel next to the dining table and asked, “Jueyu, what is this?”

Lu Jueyu looked at the direction pointed by her friend while placing several bamboo jars on the kitchen table, and said, “That’s watermelon juice. It was refreshing and helped lower body temperature. Meijia, help me fill these jars with watermelon juice and serve them to the guests.”

“Okay!”

Pan Meijia is already familiar with Lu Jueyu’s kitchen and knows where all her utensils are placed. She went to get a bamboo ladle and filled the bamboo jar with juice, while Chen Anwen brought it out to the guests.

In addition to juice, Lu Jueyu also prepared spicy edamame as a snack. She opens one of the bamboo basins, scoops out the spicy edamame, and puts it into the prepared bamboo bowl.

When Pan Meijia saw the spicy edamame, she came over and asked, “Jueyu, isn’t this soybean?”

Lu Jueyu nodded after listening to her words and said, “Yes, these are tender soybeans. They taste better as snacks when they are young, so my husband and I harvest them early. It is fried with garlic and chili sauce. It tastes very delicious and healthy.”

Hearing her explanation, Pan Meijia felt her mouth-watering and said, “Jueyu, let me try it. As your new recipe tester, I should try it before others.”

Lu Jueyu was amused by her words and said with a laugh, “You are such a foodie.”

“Here, give it a try,” she added, handing her a pair of chopsticks.

Pan Meijia was not polite at all and tried the spicy edamame. She closed her eyes while tasting it and said, “It’s really delicious. The pods are crunchy and a little sweet. The spiciness and saltiness are well-balanced. The spiciness increases appetite and makes this snack less greasy.”

Opening her eyes, she looked at Lu Jueyu and said, “Jueyu, can you teach me this recipe? Brother Yun likes spicy food the most, so he will definitely like this snack.”

“Okay, if you want to learn, I will teach you tonight.” Lu Jueyu readily agreed.

Pan Meijia hugged her, kissed her cheek, and said, “Jueyu, you are the best!”

Lu Jueyu pushed her oil-stained mouth away and said, “Wipe off the oil first before kissing me.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Chenmo entered the kitchen and asked with a frown, “Wife, who do you want to kiss?”

The moment Pan Meijia heard what he said, she quickly let go of her arms and filled the bamboo bowl with edamame as if nothing had happened.

Seeing her husband, Lu Jueyu smiled and asked, “Husband, is everyone here?”

Li Chenmo walked to her and saw the oil stains on his wife’s cheeks. He glared at Pan Meijia’s back, wiped the stain with his sleeve, and said, “Mhmm, we just have to wait for the children.”

“Then let’s go outside and wait for them.” Lu Jueyu suggested.

When they brought out the spicy edamame, everyone was surprised to see them serving soybeans as a snack. Usually, villagers either grind the soybeans into flour or make them into tofu or soy sauce. It could be said that soybeans are a treasure for the villagers. This is their first time seeing someone wasting such a good thing.

Although they knew Lu Jueyu’s cooking skills were good, when they tasted the spicy edamame, they couldn’t help themselves and continued eating while praising her.

Meanwhile, in the school, the children who were invited to Dong Huang’s house kept looking at the sky and couldn’t wait for the school to end. As for those who were uninvited, they could only look at them with envy.

Although Dong Huang wanted to invite all her classmates, she was worried that her adoptive mother had not prepared enough meals for everyone. She didn’t want to embarrass her adoptive parents, so she only invited people who were close to her.

She only invited Feng Lin and his grandparents, Ah Bao, and Ah Jiu from her class. Ah Bao is their class representative and Ah Jiu is Ah Bao’s cousin. When she first entered school, both of them helped her a lot, so they had a good relationship.

As for the others, her adoptive mother had given them red eggs and milk candy yesterday, so they were not invited today.

Hearing the bell ringing, Lin Muai closed the textbook and said, “Okay, that’s the end of today’s class. See you tomorrow, students.”

After saying that, Ah Bao stood up and said, “Stand up and bow!”

After the words fell, the students stood up, bowed, and said in unison, “See you tomorrow, Teacher Lin.”

Lin Muai nodded to them and reminded them, “Don’t go to the mountains or to the lake. Pay attention when you play in the river and go home safely.”

“Teacher, we understand,” the students replied in unison.

After nodding at them, she left the classroom and went to the teacher’s office.

Seeing her leaving, Dong Huang quickly chased after her and said, “Teacher Lin, please wait a moment.”

Hearing her voice, Lin Muai stopped and turned around. Seeing her chasing after her, she said, “Don’t run so fast, be careful of falling.”

When Dong Huang stood in front of her, she asked, “Teacher Lin, are you free now?”

Lin Muai thought she wanted to ask for a lesson and squatted down. She looked at her and asked with a smile, “Of course. Classmate Xiao Huang, is there anything you want to ask?”
